Idk why championships are vacated unless a team used peds or something no one is going to care. NCAA can’t erase the memory of millions watching Louisville winning a championship in 2013 this shit never made sense to me. Like I said before if it’s not peds rings should not be vacated
Exactly. People will always know who won in 2013. Only people who won't admit Louisville are people who don't like them and the NCAA. As a Louisville fan I'm glad they didn't do more to damage the future of the program instead. They can try to erase history, but you can't no matter what. But still, FUCK THE NCAA.
It’s so funny because he was like “I’m done with coaching but I’m gonna help and motivate players and give programs feed back on their teams” like what are you talking about lol he’s obsessed with basketball 😂😂😂 he can’t help it though hes been a head coach for 30+ 😂
I gained a huge respect for Pitino when he was the coach for my Celtics. Sure he was a terrible NBA coach, but they way he handled the Paul Pierce stabbing and his players showed his players came before his own success and wants. I tend to believe him just for the simple fact that he seemed to always be a no nonsense man of integrity during that short time he was on my radar as the Celtics coach.
3/24/22 Wooden, Knight, Dean Smith, Coach K, Pitino top 5 to ever coach college basketball. He IS coaching again and took Iona to the NIT in his first year. I'm a UK fan and at his peak people would have elected him governor of the state of Kentucky. Much respect for ya Rick.
@@treeper9986 I can't really disagree with that statement. Only thing Pitino does that stands out is that he wins at every school. Could Izzo do it at a smaller program?
This story seems sincere. I don't know Rick but I do realize that there is a political aspect to the machine that we call the ncaa that plays dirty behind doors sometimes. Him and his people look more like fall guys in this scenario.
He was the fall guy but he took it because he's not a rat... He just said well i knew nothing about it and had no involvement in anything and they couldn't prove he had knowledge of anything or that he was involved in anything that's why i have no clue why he's not coaching in college somewhere
I'm not one to believe "the coach HAD to know, how could he not know???" These head coaches are not omniscient. This is absolutely the kind of thing that guys would try to do behind the head coach's back. Not saying I believe him, but that argument "the coach knows everything happening on a campus" doesn't fly here.
Well, basically he got thrown under the bus for this not because he "had to know" ... they're trying to say that he "should've known." I could understand it if they suspended him for some games. But it seems kinda weird to punish him this harshly for "not knowing," but okay. Maybe there's more to this than known in the public. Idk.
His brother in law died in the twin towers, on 9/11,and just about everyone in Lexington,likes to badmouth him,I've met him,he was extremely nice to my dad,and gave me some advice I will cherish,right in front of my dad,say what you want,but,he deserves respect and his family, from the American people,40% of the DNA,from 9/11,are still not identified,sounds more interesting, than strippers, and young guys.
I like Rick is he perfect no but neither is none of us we must learn to forgive and move on but the insults need to be stopped remember you to will have a moment where your judgement. Needs to have mercy #GODSPEED Rick much love
@@nationalchampions - I swear man. It literally makes me LOL every time you all conveniently disregard his coaching days at Memphis. His days against Louisville go back to before he got to Kentucky. At Memphis, Pitino and Louisville would beat him regularly. He didn't start beating Louisville regularly until he started getting multiple NBA lottery prospects on his rosters literally every single year at Kentucky. Gonna be 2020 and he still has ONE championship at Kentucky, which is also the same amount of 1st round NIT exits he has there. I know you all were expecting AT LEAST three by now.
@@nationalchampions john calipari has won 1 national championship with THIRTY FOUR FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICKS, including 3 number 1's, and 22 lottery picks. Calipari has done less with more. Pitino has 2 chips and has won at every single college he has coached at. Turned around Iona, turned around purdue, put kentucky back on the right path, and completely brought lousiville back after they had been aimless after crum's era. Not to mention that louisville team he won the chip with? Had what like 1 nba player in montrezl harrell? I dont think any other player on the 2013 team had an NBA career. Look at the facts and shut up about calipari.
The issue at this period of time was the constant focus on if he knew or not when that never mattered nor was it required. Fair or not as the head coach is accountable for the actions of his staff. Louisville kept him through multiple scandals and eventually it was just time. Thankfully eventually he accepted why he was fired even if he wasn’t directly involved because the he is responsible for the actions of his program
I am very happy that he was wrong about coaching and he settled on a job first in Greece, then at Iona and now with St.Johns. I believe him. He is a man of integrity and if you believe otherwise in my opinion, you're just a hater and even if there was some guilt applied to him, don't you think like anyone in life, that people deserve a 2nd chance. Think about that seriously.
He tried to fool us all , he said I’m done with coaching then goes on to say he’s gonna start working with different programs and give them feed back on their players and help motivate them lol but “his days of making players good, are over” lol what the hell idk if he was trying to convince us or himself 😂😂😂
His coaching contract that he had was 55 million if he would have fufilled it. Don't you think with that kind of money that I would be guarding every one of those players. He sounds so innocent but this was the third incident he was involved with. 1. Sex scandal with a woman in a a restaurant. 2. Underage hookers/book scandal. 3.addidas incident. He's an arrogant man who holds high standards for on the court players, high standards in people who interview him, but plays Mr. Innocent when it comes to his issues.
"LoUIsViLLe wILl nO lONgeR b ThE SaME" Well Chris Mack has yet to coach a game and guess what ... he has the recruiting class ranked #3 with four 4 stars. LOL at everyone who doesn't think Louisville will be back.
Idk this situation is so weird it’s hard for me to believe he knew absolutely nothing he either knew absolutely nothing or he knew absolutely everything lol so idk man
I had NO IDEA what my assistant coaches were doing. That part might be technically true. He probably told his assistants to not tell him what they were doing so it wouldn't come back to him. So yeah it's ultimately about the head coach. He knows that. But he's always been a scam artist. But he has the talent of sounding utterly convincing and sincere when lying.
this guy looks like he part of the mafia
BKK that's why they have henchmen
BKK most of em fat and out of shape
him and calipari are I live in Kentucky
Lol most of them won't even show up unless the show's up.
Erbzino basketball is the mafia
Damn he’s one the best college coaches ever. It’s still weird not seeing him coach
he's back ,baby. look for sweet 16 - elite 8 run in the next 2 years
Very glad he got to coach again ! I definitely believe him !
Idk why championships are vacated unless a team used peds or something no one is going to care. NCAA can’t erase the memory of millions watching Louisville winning a championship in 2013 this shit never made sense to me. Like I said before if it’s not peds rings should not be vacated
true. hell people posted the game on youtube anyways

@@imfromtheville but the NCAA did erase history lol
They physically went back in time and prevented all the wins and the championships from happening? I don’t think so.
Ya Louisville will still be the national champions
This man isn't finished with Coaching....
you called it, bro

Love you rick pitino thank you for the memories and best childhood! Ashamed what they are doing to you
Somebody was out for Pitino. He was a great coach and I believe he was done wrong.
I believe him... What a shame. He is such a good college coach...
You voted for Trump
I WAS BORN IN '92 Who cares?
I WAS BORN IN '92 you act like that’s a bad thing
I do too. And he has passed lie detector tests to back up his claims. And yes he is a great coach, a hall of famer.

It was a tragedy for Louisville Fans when Coach Rich Pitino had to resign as coach of the Cardinals...8/4/2020 SRC
Im at Duke fan but I still believe him

Can someone explain me what he has done?
Welcome panathinaikos pitino! 🍀🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🏀
You can just see the hurt but rick Pitino was a great great coach
Pitino is by far one of the Best to ever walk a sideline. No one has done more with less than Rick Pitino
Sucked in the NBA
I love this man
Pitino was 2-8 against Calipari. Calipari owns him.
Wellcome to Panathinaikos bc coats!!!
ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ ΤΑΡΑΛΑΣ 👎🏻
Didn’t do anything, still the greatest coach of all time.. does the most with the least. A 2 time champion at 2 different schools.
He is great for panathinaikos he made us great in 6 months
I believe him.
I've been following this since it went down you can tell it was all set up.
Louisville lost the greatest coach they could've ever got
John Calipari's 8-2 record while at Kentucky against Rick Pitino at Louisville proves you're wrong.

0:27 IS ABOUT TO BE A FREUDIAN SLIP HE WANTED TO SAY TEACHES HOW TO PASS POLYGRAGH TEST
Please comeback
Ridiculous what they did to Pitino, they pretend like this doesn't happen at every other school in the country.

Lol 4 stars? They suck
Yeah sure. Make it 5 four stars now. #1 class on ESPN. Yeah that sucks though...
Chris Mack in 4 years won 1 NCAA Tourney game. Trash

The man is in denial, and will stay in denial, he will never admit he was fired for cheating......
He looks terrible for 65. I had to google how old he was. Im guessing heavy drinking played a part
PlatinumState What do Pitino and Kevin Durant have in common? Neither one of their rings count lol
Whether you wanna admit it or not KD's ring counts
Wow, your standards are high-I think he looks good for 65
Christopher - And Pitino has more than one ring, genius.
Only Italians lie this well.
Great coach though!
